FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Multi-Platform Compatibility
OpCon/xps provides more proven interfaces and functionality than any other scheduling solution.
Enterprisewide Automation
Lets one person manage entire network from one screen. Leverages his knowledge across enterprise without platform-specific expertise.
THROUGHPUT
On Enterprise-level servers and mainframes it is quite possible to run hundreds of concurrent tasks, which (depending on the duration of the tasks) can equate to thousands of tasks per hour.
scalability
Automating with OpCon/xps will not place any unnecessary limitations, restrictions or overhead on getting your workload processed. As your processing requirements grow, OpCon/xps will easily scale to meet them.
Distributed Architecture
Works with everything from mainframes to PCs. Offloads and removes excessive overhead from applications processing systems.
Greater Productivity
Enables extended reach and faster execution. Using OpCon/xps, one person in one location can manage many boxes, operating systems and applications in many different locations.
Powerful Engine
Can handle everything from file transfers across enterprise to date/time actions, disaster recovery, middleware configuration and more.
Reduces Errors, Downtime
Tens of thousands of processes, file transfers, reports, print runs, backups and more can be scheduled and monitored for fast, flawless execution.
Integrated Dependencies
Implements hundreds of cross-platform dependencies as if they were common to all systems. No outside tables or off-schedule processes needed.
Dynamic Adjustments
OpCon/xps automatically responds to changes in environment according to policies, scenarios and contingency plans you define in the database.
Event-driven Processing
Detects and generates events needed to process specified workflows.
Unparalleled Responsiveness
Helps enterprise react quickly and precisely to rapidly changing conditions.
Master and Daily Schedules
Users can modify conditions and requirements for one-off processing without resetting workflows for other days.
Flexibility
More flexible batch processing, modeling, and forecasting capabilities.
Independent and Dependent Schedules
Supports both sequential and parallel processing. Automatically handles conflicts, dependencies, resources and priorities.
Customizable Processes
Automates processes sequentially, concurrently or independently. Prioritizes certain processes over others.

EFFICIENT AGENTS
OpCon/xps Agents are extremely efficient and typically consume less than one or two percent of the resources on production systems to initiate and monitor tasks.

MINIMAL OVERHEAD ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Not only does OpCon/xps enable the user to make the most efficient use of their production resources, it also does it with minimal cost. 

Rerun and Recovery
Provides extensive rerun and recovery capabilities for applications, schedules and entire departments.
Enhanced Control
Re-processes a group of jobs from last week while still processing this week's schedules without conflict.
Scalability
Supports new and emerging technologies as well as legacy systems.
Growth Support
Preserves your investment without compromising the future.
Low Overhead
Main app requires less than 50 Megabytes on stand-alone server. Client agents require as little as 220 KB.
Faster Performance
Improves performance of limited legacy systems. Uses fewer IT resources. Easy to implement.
Authentication, Encryption and Firewall Support
All processes and functions strictly controlled by user-defined security privileges.
Tailored Security
Restricts access to functions, views and data by user, department, time period, or task.
Integrated Complex
Event Logic

Responds dynamically to changes in environment without need for human intervention.
Rapid Execution
Handles interruptions, dependencies and outside events in a fraction of the time required by humans.
Critical Path Management
Identifies tasks required for project to be completed on time.
On-Time Delivery
Prioritizes most urgent tasks to ensure successful completion.

ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATIONS
Communications between the OpCon/xps server and the OpCon/xps agents are asynchronous. Communications occur only on an 'as-needed' basis, thus avoiding the overhead that can be incurred by 'polling' agents or by having the agents connect to the central database using ODBC or some other similar protocol.

MINIMAL NETWORK OVERHEAD
OpCon/xps imposes minimal overhead on the network in order to initiate and monitor tasks. Implementing OpCon/xps does not require users to incur additional network costs.

 

24/7/365 Technical Support
Provides access to programmers of the product if needed.
Quick, Effective Resolution
Knowledgeable person helps resolve high percentage of issues on first call.
